Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cups cocoa powder
- 1 g (0.03 oz) cinnamon powder I used ½ teaspoon
- 1 g (0.03 oz) nutmeg powder I used ½ teaspoon
- 3/4 cups castor sugar plus 2 tablespoons
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs beaten- save up a tablespoon of egg white, put aside.
- ½ cups almonds I used more
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg powder, then sift them together.
- Dry roast the almonds at 150°C (300°F) until fragrant, then remove them and let them cool. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Add sugar and salt to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Pour in the beaten eggs and mix, then add the almonds and form a dough.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions, roll each into log shapes, and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten the logs to about 3 inches (7 cm) in width and ½ inch (1 cm) in height. Brush the tops with egg white.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes on the lower shelf. Remove from the oven and let cool for approximately 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 150°C (300°F).
- Use a serrated knife to cut the logs into thin slices (1 cm or less). Arrange the slices on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 20 minutes until dry and crisp.
Notes
1. If the dough is sticky, dust hand and countertop with flour for easy handling.
2. I cut my biscotti to very thin slices (2 mm), to make biscotti chips. Thus the final baking time is lesser (approximately 12 minutes, 6 minutes each side for even browning).
